We’re pleased to announce that the City of Long Beach in California has signed up for both FilmApp and EventApp – a move that will modernise how the city handles film permits and event applications.
What this means
• For film-making: FilmApp gives production companies a smoother online route for applying, getting approvals and paying fees.
• For events: EventApp offers organisers a single portal for special-event applications, document submission, payments and multi-department coordination.
• For the city: Staff benefit from better oversight, consistent processes and reduced paperwork – translating into faster responses and improved transparency.
Why Long Beach
With its diverse locations (coastline, urban streets, historic venues), Long Beach is already a sought-after site for both film production and community events. Adopting these platforms signals the city’s commitment to being more accessible, efficient and film-/event-friendly.
What to expect
Both platforms will roll out via the city’s permitting office. Organisers and production companies will soon be able to apply online, track status, submit required documents and receive permits electronically.
